EU Legislative Interests

Main EU legislative proposals or policies targeted: - Regulation on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (ESPR) — including the implementation of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for textiles and apparel. - Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) — with a focus on supply chain human rights, living wages, and environmental compliance. - Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) — especially in relation to supply chain transparency and sustainability reporting for fashion brands. - Waste Framework Directive (WFD) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes for textiles. - EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles — measures on durability, repairability, and recyclability. - Relevant market surveillance and conformity assessment rules under the New Legislative Framework (NLF) as revised for product digitalisation and transparency.

Communication Activities

We organise and participate in online briefings, webinars, and stakeholder discussions on the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passports for textiles, specifically for SME fashion brands. We produce guidance materials, policy summaries, and supply chain toolkits to support compliance with EU regulations including CSDDD, CSRD, and EPR. We also share insights via LinkedIn, targeted email updates, and direct brand support, ensuring suppliers and brands understand requirements and timelines, and addressing issues such as fake certifications and supplier capacity.

Organisation Members

Frank Impact Company and The Chain platform. No formal members; activities are carried out on behalf of SME fashion brands and suppliers on a client basis. We work with over 12 brands ranging from SME's to larger companies. We work directly with a range of SME's such as Ganni based in Copenhagen, Rat and Boa and Percival both based in the UK. We also work with independents such as Black Pearl based in LA, and through our living wage consulting with Anker Research Institute we work with much larger brands such as Nike, Adidas, Patagonia and New Balance.

Additional Information

The estimate is based on the pro-rated value of 25% of the founder’s annual working time dedicated to EU-related activities, including participation in consultations, working groups, and the preparation of guidance materials aligned with EU legislation (e.g., ESPR, CSDDD, CSRD). Additional costs include limited travel, event participation, and production of communication materials directly linked to these activities. No intermediaries are used; all activities are conducted directly by the registrant. We work with a range of clients, from SMEs to larger organisations, on sustainability, supply chain transparency and EU regulation compliance. Direct SME clients include GANNI (Copenhagen), Black Pearl (LA), Rat & Boa (UK), and Percival (UK). In addition, we provide consulting to the Anker Research Institute, advising on EU regulatory changes related to wages and human rights. Through this collaboration, we also engage indirectly with ARI’s partner brands such as Adidas, Patagonia, Tiffany & Co., and New Balance. Most clients are SMEs who do not engage directly with EU institutions and are therefore not themselves registered in the Transparency Register. Representation is carried out solely through our consultancy activities.
